Letter to Primary Care Manager delivered

Business
I have collected my travel insurance medical certificate from my doctors' surgery, and delivered my response to the letter that I received from Dr Black.  I have said everything that I need to say, and resolved to walk away from it if I don't like the response.  My next task is to send my travel insurance claim.  My ambition is to be able to watch a film without feeling like I should be doing something more serious!

Martha in good spirits
Before school, we played Martha's Children in Need fundraising game, so that she was confident about how the game works.  Martha's ulcers have cleared up, so she ate properly.  She was smiling when she went into school.  I was so relieved.

Beautiful walk
It was a beautiful morning, for an Autumn walk around the meadows.  Anna and her brother joined me.  The sun was low and sharp.

Sleep
I had a lunchtime sleep, and later a good chat with Martine.  Our laugh, was that she came and told me that Izzy has got a place in Guides.  I haven't told anyone that I have withdrawn Martha, and I had to tell her that Izzy probably has Martha's place. Martha is going to lend her a uniform, until she goes back to Guides after Christmas. 

Drama club
In the evening, I went to watch Martha at her drama club.  I have not been there since February, I think!  I joined in, but there came a time when I had to give in, and sit out for a rest.  Katy went swimming with Dave. 

Vacuum Cleaner belt
My vacuum cleaner's belt has snapped, and the belt in my cupboard is not the right size.  Grrrr!  Ewa, my cleaner arrives in the morning at 8am, and I don't have a working vacuum cleaner.  All my fault for not reading the package properly.  I go to see my consultant tomorrow, so won't be able to get a belt until I come home.

Chemo starts again tomorrow. 
I don't know if I have mentioned this already or not.  I have cut down my steroids to one quarter of a milligram.  Tomorrow is day three.

My mood, on the whole has been very anxious today.  I don't know if it is the steroids, or just a bad mood!  Going to sleep now.

love to you all
